The Torah as a Living Experience
The Torah as a Living Experience
Torah is hope, the mortality of our souls. It cannot be found in heaven. Nor on the top of the mountains, or the bottom of the sea. It is here, in our hearts, in the way we live. We look within ourselves, deeply, for it is there that we will find all of the cosmic beauty that God has planted there for us.
